    Yes, health workers should be unionized. But if we want more doctors, first we need more residency positions. The Boomer doctors retired before the Boomers stopped needing health care. We need to be training a lot more doctors.

      In the US anyway it’s pretty funny because nobody can afford to be a doctor except for people from already extremely privileged backgrounds… who tend to be pricks anyway.

      So we don’t have enough doctors, the ones we do have have no perspective on how an average person actually lives, and some very weird views about wealth as it relates to healthcare.
